Zacchaeus

Ed spoke about Zacchaeus and challenged us to consider the 'trees' of religious activities that we climb in order to see Jesus instead of realising that his invitation to a deeper relationship with him is constant and freely available.

Jonah - Chapter 2

Dave looked at Jonah 2 and talked about how the thought of Jonah speaking out a prayer of praise whilst in the belly of the fish was actually more unbelievable than being swallowed by the fish in the first place! We learned that believing in God's close proximity whether in good times or bad, but especially in the belly of the 'beasts' that all of us face, is His greatest and most comforting promise.

Jonah - Chapter 1

Jonah and in particular the part of the story where he finds himself on a ship in the middle of a storm, Carl challenged us to think about how Jonah's honest and vulnerable belief in God, even a God who he was running away from, brought salvation to his fellow sailors.

Jonah - Intro

Dave began a new series looking at the book of Jonah and asking us to consider the things that God might be calling us to do, through looking at the 'within' pointers of our skills, gifts, circumstances and character as well as the 'without' influences of other people's affirmation, scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Finding Jesus Again - His Death

Finding Jesus Again - His Miracles

Dave got us thinking about the purpose of Jesus miracles, thinking through what the people seeing and experiencing these moments would have thought and how that might show the miracles in a different light.

Finding Jesus Again - His Politics

Avril helped us to see that everything Jesus did had a political impact, through his actions and teachings he was always challenging the powers that be and bringing about a new political agenda that centred around justice, peace and generosity.
